Crying Tiger Beef Lettuce Wraps

Ingredients

• 300 g Beef sirloin, thinly sliced
• 2 tbsp Soy sauce (gluten‑free if needed)
• 1 tbsp Fish sauce
• 1 tbsp Lime juice
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tsp Fresh ginger, grated
• 1 small Thai red chili, finely chopped
• 1 tbsp Olive oil
• 9 large Romaine lettuce leaves
• 100 g Cucumber, julienned
• 2 tbsp Fresh cilantro, chopped
• ½ tsp Salt
• ¼ tsp Black pepper

Instructions

1. 1

   In a bowl, combine soy sauce, fish sauce, lime juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, chopped chili, olive oil, salt, and black pepper; whisk to form a marinade.

2. 2

   Add the beef strips to the marinade, toss to coat, and let sit for 10 minutes while you prepare the lettuce cups.

3. 3

   Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill over high heat; lightly oil the surface and grill the beef strips for 2‑3 minutes per side until nicely charred but still pink inside.

4. 4

   While the beef rests, arrange lettuce leaves on a platter, top each leaf with a handful of julienned cucumber and a sprinkle of cilantro.

5. 5

   Slice the grilled beef into bite‑size strips and place them into the lettuce cups, drizzle any remaining pan juices over the wraps, and serve immediately.
